PSR J1719−1438 b is an extrasolar planet that was discovered on August 25, 2011, in orbit around PSR J1719−1438, a millisecond pulsar. The pulsar planet is most likely composed largely of crystalline carbon but with a density far greater than diamond. [1] [2] PSR J1719-1438 b orbits so closely to its host star that its orbit would fit ...
PSR J0002+6216, also dubbed the Cannonball Pulsar, is a pulsar discovered by the Einstein@Home project in 2017. [2] It is one of the fastest moving pulsars known, and has moved 53 ly (5.0 × 10 14 km; 3.1 × 10 14 mi) away from the location of its formation supernova, where the remaining supernova nebula, CTB 1 (Abell 85 [3]), is.
A pulsar (pulsating star, on the model of quasar) [1] is a highly magnetized rotating neutron star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation out of its magnetic ...
Pulsar Helium is a step closer to building Minnesota's first helium drilling operation after the company said lab tests confirmed a potent concentration of the gas from a well at an exploration ...
As Pulsar Helium inches closer to building Minnesota's first helium drilling operation near the Iron Range, lawmakers and other officials are scrambling to make sure the government can make money ...
Gamma ray and optical (visible light) light curves for the pulsar, adapted from Spolon et al. (2019) [3]. Vela is the brightest pulsar (at radio frequencies) in the sky and spins 11 times per second [4] (i.e. a period of 89.33 milliseconds—the shortest known at the time of its discovery) and the remnant from the supernova explosion is estimated to be travelling outwards at 1,200 km/s (750 mi ...
A pulsating white dwarf is a white dwarf star whose luminosity varies due to non-radial gravity wave pulsations within itself. Known types of pulsating white dwarfs include DAV, or ZZ Ceti, stars, with hydrogen-dominated atmospheres and the spectral type DA; [1] DBV, or V777 Her, stars, with helium-dominated atmospheres and the spectral type DB; [2] and GW Vir stars, with atmospheres dominated ...
An intermediate-mass binary pulsar (IMBP) is a pulsar-white dwarf binary system with a relatively long spin period of around 10–200 ms consisting of a white dwarf with a relatively high mass of approximately . [7] The spin periods, magnetic field strengths, and orbital eccentricities of IMBPs are significantly larger than those of low mass binary pulsars (LMBPs). [7]
